You've all witnessed - and most likely been freaked out by - bald Sphynx cats, but have you ever seen a hairless dog? Looking significantly friendlier than its feline counterpart, a video has emerged of a rare hairless pup that looks just like an ancient Egyptian statue. Check it out below:

Full time dog rescue volunteer Wendy Scarborough claims onlookers are so surprised by her new pet Fable's incredible appearance, they mistake her for a stone sculpture.

The 48-year-old from North Carolina, US, has been inundated with questions from curious canine fans ever since taking on the Peruvian Hairless Dog.

"We get told Fable looks like a statue a lot," she said.

"Every time I go out with her I'm stopped at least five times and everybody says the same thing.

"They all ask, 'What type of dog is that? I've never seen an animal like that, she doesn't look real,' and 'What does she feel like?'

"Everyone wants to touch her and understand her origin.

"They say she looks like an Egyptian statue and a lot of people refer to her as Anubis, the famous Egyptian god of mummification."

Wendy became interested in adopting the rare breed after becoming enchanted by their statuesque physique and 'expressionless' faces, finally getting her wish last May when she had Fable flown 3,115 miles from Peru.
